Real Economics We should all be debt free, economically comfortable and secure, and have about a fourth of each

year off to pursue our passions. This was the case for men and their families in the portions of the Middle Ages, a New Frontier, wrongly comprehensively called the Dark Ages because there were areas where there were no predatory or parasitical empires and big top down centralized governments to enforce unjust laws, tax the peasants, serfs and sheeple to death, or squander the common peoples lives and natural resources on their vain egotistical pursuits of power, wealth, sexual exploits and conquests. And if life was good then, think how much better it could be today! There are at core only two parts of the economic equation: land and labor; put differently the earth and people; natural resources and man. That is it. This is the two ingredient recipe for economics, pure and simple, the bottom line of human action. With these two basic ingredients as givens, we can develop a model on how to structure the economic recipe/equation to maximize wealth, peace and prosperity for individuals, for the majority of people who will fall naturally under the bell shaped curve (Gaussian distribution). Here is broad outline are the central components of such a model which, if implemented, demonstrate how and why we should all be richer with each subsequent generation in an honest economic and money system. This model will only deal with man and the materials of the earth. It does not consider such possibilities as harvesting the minerals of the moon, or colonizing other planets, or living on the ocean floor, or harvesting the metals and minerals of either ocean water or the ocean floor, or alien invasions, or quantum leaps in technology (which, by the way, tend to occur during historical times of radical change such as these). We will deal with man and the earth as it is today. ! 1) There is naturally an unlimited supply of honest, real money available. How? Why? Because the earth is an open system thanks to free sunlight energy and photosynthesis. What is money after all? It is a representative of some commodity. We use money to buy either a good (commodity + added value) or a service. This is nothing more than money=matter=energy=time=life. Each of us spends our lives, which is our time, which expends our energy, producing something of value, preferably desired freely by the marketplace, a good or service (matter or energy). And we are paid money so we can in turn buy some other good or service (matter/energy). So, if we back up and reverse the process, to the good or service we buy (matter/energy), to the good or service we produce (matter/energy), to how we spend our money=matter=energy=time=life, where do we find free new money (energy/matter) in an open system? Answer: From the earth (minerals, oil, and from the sun! (We know from Einstein that matter and energy are interchangeable, effectively one and the same, E= mc2. Matter [an economic good] is nothing more than energy slowed down below the speed of light with a set frequency and standing electromagnetic wave, congealed or frozen light energy, so to speak.) Ever wonder why life seems so good and easy in the Tropics, at +- 20 degrees latitude, why people there have to work so little to get by, to have all the food they need right at their fingertips with next to no effort on their part? Because the free energy of the sun does most of the work for them, producing naturally abundant commodities from the earth and the natural waters. Could not the coconuts that fall off the trees there that are produced freely by the sun be gathered and sold at a market in exchange for money? Sure. Ah, free open system money from free commodities. Is this counterfeiting, like central banks creating money out of nothing? Of course not. Until our sun burns out, our sun is an unlimited source of energy,

which allows us on the earth to have an open system and potentially unlimited money, thanks to photosynthesis. Again how? Because the free energy from the sun causes trees to grow naturally (timber), grass to grow (which allows the production and reproduction of livestock), fish to reproduce and thrive in the rivers, lakes and oceans, seeds, grains and crops to grow and flourish. And these commodities, this matter, which is solar energy, plus earths other natural resources which are valued by man, are commodities which can be utilized to be, and should be, monetized money. Then there is under the earth, and all the wonderful natural resources that can be gleaned from there. Plus, through innovation, science and technology we discover new and better ways to utilize the resources of the earth. We use money to buy commodities, stuff, like food. Honest money should be a commodity, or a stored representative of some commodity. And because of the solar input to the earth of free energy, we have free commodities and therefore free money, and a natural increase in the money supply. Ditto for our ability to find and extract energy, minerals and metals from the earth, which can also be monetized (used as money or the backing for money, like gold and silver). So, over time, in an honest economic system, everyone should be better off economically due to the free money, open system of naturally created commodity money. Why did people in earlier times celebrate an abundant harvest? Or celebrate great weather which produced more and better livestock? Or rejoice over a great catch of fish from the sea? Or become excited when someone discovered a new gold, silver, copper or iron ore deposit? Because they knew everyone would be better off economically, financially. More commodities meant more wealth to be spread around the community and lower prices, not inflation. Did you ever look at all those centuries old magnificent architectural buildings in Europe or Argentina or from early America and wonder: How did they find the free time to produce such wonderful works of art? I barely have time to breathe, and I run around like a rat just trying to make ends meet. Craftsmen built those fantastic structures by hand. They did not have the technology we have today to produce such stately edifices. So, how did they find all the time necessary do so? They had the free time to be craftsmen and produce churches and other buildings of enduring value and beauty because by and large they had honest real commodity money and were not taxed to death. They did not have to work nearly as hard or as long to meet their economic needs. It was not unusual for a man in areas in the Middle Ages (so-called Dark Ages) to have three 4-course meals a day and wear silver buttons on his coat with silver buckles on his shoes. Why cant we have the same lifestyle only better, given our advanced systems of technology, production, distribution and transportation? Seems we should, doesnt it? How did Israel in the Old Testament of the Bible afford to have so many festivals and times of celebration? Honest commodity money! Money was either a commodity or a receipt for some commodity, as God in Scripture required money to be an honest weight and measure, a fixed standard. Why dont we have a free market in money, where we get to choose which commodity or commodity-backed money we want to use, just like we do when we shop for groceries or an automobile? How about, for example, money which represents X amount of gold, or wheat, or copper, or a basket of commodities? The free honest market has given us a cornucopia of choices for the food we eat, for the cars we drive, for the homes we buy. Why not the same thing with money? Because, after all, money is used to buy commodities/goods or services (matter=energy). So why not have a free market in honest money that is a commodity or a commodity representative? We know we have potentially an unlimited amount of money=matter/commodity=energy thanks to the open system input of free energy from our sun and other discovered metals and raw materials from the earth. Banks

used to compete with each other, and each produced its own currency backed by gold and silver. Why not again? Why not a free market in commodity money, the only law being that money has to have an unleveraged commodity standing behind it, backing it up? Why not have banks that operate as cooperatives, locally owned banks that take the deposits of their local community as their agent, the local community members actually owning the bank, and then the bank in turn invests with equity (rather than with debt, which means death) in the people and projects of the local community on behalf of its risk-taking co-owning local depositors? This not only encourages creative entrepreneurship, the backbone of all economic advances, job creation and prosperity, but also puts an important check on the sometimes dysfunctional nature of psychologically scarred creative loners who tend to be entrepreneurs, so they are unable to wrongfully exploit their fellow man, who in this case, are their neighbors and co-owners in his entrepreneurial project financed through their cooperative bank. It also puts an effective check on the greed of bankers. And certainly this type of banking system would preclude doing environmental damage to the detriment of the community by not exploiting the environment, because everyone would have a stake in both the entrepreneurs business and in the integrity of the local environment. It further motivates both the entrepreneur and the local community, because as the entrepreneur gets richer so, too, do the members of the local community who co-own his business through their equity-investing cooperative bank, the bank officers only being agents of the local community depositors. All in all, then everyone wins the individual entrepreneur, the depositors in the bank, the local community members, the local community, the environment, the bank. And it is all done with honest money and primarily equity financing, by having the local community owned cooperative bank co-venturing with the entrepreneur, and issuing its own fully independent, commodity backed money. (There is also the real possibility of internet-based global currencies with commodity backing.) In fact, such a bank has existed since 1956 in the Basque region of Spain (founded by a Catholic priest who saw people as more important than goods and services). The last time I checked, this Basque bank had never had a loan failure because it not only invested in a good or service, but primarily in the people who were going to produce the good or service locally. (People are more important than the good or service, because people, like entrepreneurs, create the value of the good or service that serves their fellow man before they are paid, a win-win transaction.) Likewise, some of the Islamic banks have had similar success with a similar model. (Mohammad had a Christian pastor who mentored him and accordingly took his economics from Moses from the Old Testament of the Bible.) How much better is free market commodity money coming in real potentially unlimited amounts from an open monetary system, generated by the sun and other discovered natural resources than debt/death based monetary system we have today where elitist central bankers with their monopoly play god and create money out of nothing? Today, we have unlimited money alright, produced out of nothing by the central banks, behind which stands no commodity, on which they have the audacity to charge us compound interest! Plus, the banks of today can do this over and over again to us with their same phony money through their fractional reserve system as money is re-deposited over and over again. This is both dishonest and unjust. Plus today, these big transnational banks take our money=time=energy=our lives, and rather than reinvest it locally to benefit us and the local community, instead take our hard-earned money and loan it to developing nations like China, India, Mexico, Indonesia and Bangladesh where factories are built and laborers are employed with the fruits of our labor- our money. And so by our own labor, using our hard-earned dishonest monopoly money deposited in these big transnational banks, we finance our own unemployment. We are thereby committing financial suicide today. Why not instead set the human spirit free to be creatively productive with honest free market money and support from his fellow man locally. This is, after all, the primary way

man gets both his spiritual need for approval and his physical need for economic sustenance both met, by serving before he receives/profits, a win-win transaction, balancing out the rights of the individual with the rights of the community. (This is also in keeping with mans created nature, made in the image of God spiritually, and formed from the dust of the earth economically. So, this model meets both mans spiritual need for love/approval/acceptance and his physical need for economic goods and services). A 2012 US presidential candidate, Ron Paul, wanted to abolish the elitist, privately owned Federal Reserve and the fractional banking system? The Federal Reserve and its aligned oligarchic corporations now effectively own the US government and run the military for their elitist sociopathic purposes. This choke hold on the US goes way back. US presidents John F. Kennedy and James A Garfield were both going to reestablish honest money, at least government issued debt free money; and they were both assassinated. Andrew Jackson was also the target of an assassination attempt for the same reason. Jackson hated the elitist central bank and abolished it. The banksters today have a legal license to counterfeit, and to steal the fruit/commodities of our labor by buying our production with money they produce out of nothing. This is the ultimate scam. Pirates and other counterfeiters never had it so good. And we are brainwashed in the government programming schools to respect these crooks. No nation in the world today has an honest money and banking system on our Prison Planet. Gaddafi was about to establish such an honest gold-backed currency, the dinar, in Libya for all of Africa and other Islamic nations. This is why, under false pretenses, Libya was invaded by NATO using foreign mercenaries (including al-Qaeda fighters) and Gaddafis government was overthrown and he was assassinated in 2011. (The Libyan people today are much worse off today, and are infuriated by what has been done to their nation by the Western foreign invaders.) 2) The accelerating advances in technology mean we should, with each subsequent generation, be richer because we can do more with less human effort, requiring less time, making better use of both human effort and the resources of the earth. Furthermore, by encouraging innovation and creativity, new and even better technology, which can potentially make us all richer, can become manifest. But we need freedom and just property laws to ensure that such technology is used for the betterment of individuals rather than for the enslavement of man by elitist-run centralizing powers. We also need to ensure that such technology is not suppressed or bought up and buried to protect existing special interests. Progress only comes with the creative destruction of old technology, systems, ways and products by the new. This is short-term pain for long-term gain. We no longer have to use picks and shovels to build our roads. We have the technology of bulldozers and scrapers. Who would have thought a hundred years ago that sand, silica, would have become so valuable as it is today in computer chips and semiconductors, Silicon Valley, for example. The technology for discovering and extracting minerals, metals and energy from the earth is exploding (all of which could be monetized). Fracking is a recent example of new technology used to better extract energy from the earth. The point is, when the creativity of technological innovation is encouraged and supported, when change is welcomed, and the natural death and destruction of old technology (and institutions and businesses) are allowed to suffer a normal, natural death of creative destruction, we all win long-term. We have to be willing to walk up the down escalator of life, to endure short-term pain for long-term benefit. (This is what maturing from being a child to becoming a adult is all about, plus being willing to take personal responsibility for our lives.) We cannot allow meaningful technology to be bought up, stuffed, hidden, or shelved for the benefit of self-serving corporations who are effectively answerable to no one but their greedy self-interests. There exists today medical technology, power generating

technology and transportation technology that have been suppressed for years that would make our lives infinitely better. Even back in the early 1950s, US News & World Report featured an article on levitating discs, flying saucers. That was over 60 years ago. How far has this technology come since then? What about John Searls levitating discs? (http://sdonline.org/42/flying-saucers-are-real-the-us-navyunidentified-flying-objects-and-the-national-security-state/) (http://www.rense.com/general78/shoot.htm) What about energy medicine, crystal technology, the work of Marcel Vogel? Why is this valuable technology being suppressed? Isnt the human body, matter, in effect, also energy (as well as spirit)? Of course. Again, Albert Einstein, E=mc2. And what about magnetic therapy, which has been used effectively for centuries, back to 800 BC? In the late 1800s and early 1900s, before special interests gained control of the medical industry, the Sears and Roebuck catalogue offered pages of magnets for sale for medical treatment. And what about the application of Nikola Teslas work that demonstrated that the electrical conductivity of this spinning electromagnet we live on called earth could provide us with limitless power? (Power companies often put reducers on buried power lines and use witching rods to locate them.) And there is so much more technology emerging, like in the field of nanotechnology, that has the potential to enrich all of our lives. But just like with the technology of firearms and computers, technology can either make us free or enslave us, depending on whether we are willing to take personal responsibility for our lives and destinies, rather than leave our lives in the hand of pariah bureaucratic zombie corporations and governments. Everything that is alive a healthy function of strong equal and opposite co-existing polarity, like the +,- in the earths poles, the alkalinity and acidity in our soil, in our foods, the +,- in our ionic atmosphere, in our bodies (sodium/potassium exchange at the cellular level), even in our first basic voluntary covenant unit of government, the +,- male/female nuclear family, which the Chinese, with their knowledge of yin/yang (-,+) going back over 5,000 years, know and support as fundamental and basic to the health and vitality of their culture and civilization? Isnt the basic unit of government in the Bible the nuclear male (+) female (-) family? Yes. There used to be a free market in medicine, in treatment? Why not again? What about the homeopathy of Samuel Hahnemann? There is a Samuel Hahnemann Memorial in Washington, DC, a bronze statue. What about proven cancer cures? What happened to the Center for Cell Specific Cancer Therapy in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic that used a giant horseshoe-shaped electromagnet to effectively destroy cancer cells with negligible side effects? Why are cutting edge professionals, who are getting real healing results, persecuted by the Establishment and thrown in jail or driven into bankruptcy, rendered unable to practice? The earth has energy ley lines running down from the poles, crisscrossing the earth that the ancients had knowledge of and utilized? Many European cathedrals, Masonic and other important buildings, are located on these ley lines. Are we taught the logic for this in the government schools, the state indoctrination networks (SINs)? No. What about harnessing magnetic energy, geo-thermal, solar, tidal, abundant natural gas? Remember that in our honest money system we have a potentially unlimited supply of money so we can pretty much afford to do whatever our ingenuity and creativity desires to do when it comes to technology development and utilization. The sky is the limit. There is no longer any excuse for mankind to continue to miserably just exist on this earth as a Prison Planet. God commanded us to turn the earth into a garden. Now, more than ever before, we have the capability of doing so, of transforming our Prison Planet earth, presently ruled by enslaving sociopaths, into a decentralized free and flourishing peaceful, prosperous garden. Lets apply both our human and natural resources to produce cheap, or even free, abundant energy (not that we dont have abundant energy presently if the market is freed up).

I have worked with avant-garde global scientists since the late 1980s, top men and women in their fields, who are on the cutting edge of breakthroughs in science and technology. This is a rightfully untrusting and paranoid group of men and women when it comes to the centralized government, its military and the big, self-serving transnational corporations. These scientists and their colleagues have produced a plethora of free excess energy devices, amazing medical technology, and all kinds of other useful technology that rivals the advances we have seen in computer technology. But this glorious technology has been bought up, suppressed, disappeared, and in some cases the entire family of the inventor has disappeared. Some of these scientists have been assassinated. I heard one gentleman speak at a conference who had worked at Area 51 in the US. He tore open his shirt and showed us all the scars on his body from the bullet holes from assassination attempts on his life. Two weeks later, after this lecture, he was dead, assassinated. (See John Perkins book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.) The bottom line is, there is an amazing array of technology already out there which would make our lives infinitely richer and better, comprehensively so, that elitist, oligarchic, special interests have suppressed and destroyed. 3) What if our laws, culture and economic system encouraged savings so that each individual would have a greater inheritance with each passing generation? Would we not all have a more sound economic foundation with which to start life? Would we all not be richer if we started out with a meaningful inheritance? Of course, we would. For, it is such savings, capital, that provides the basis for investment which creates wealth. Such inheritance used to be the case when there was an honest money and common law legal system, and for centuries this was the case. Inheritance was basic to ongoing multi-generational family wealth in the Bible and in subsequent Christian societies. Wealth was passed from generation to generation, increasing over time, over decades. But due to the inequity, complexity and expense of tax and estate laws these days, not to mention dishonest money, only the very rich of Europe (who have done this for centuries) and in Japan and North America have been able to afford the tax accountants and lawyers necessary to secure and pass on to the next generation (or generation-skipping family line) increasing wealth. This is again elitism at work. The passing on of inheritance is fundamental to not only increasing wealth from one generation to the next, but also to maintaining the integrity of the family, the first and basic voluntary and most important covenantal unit of government. It allows children to be made responsible for the retirement and care of their parents in old age, further enhancing family integrity. This is a powerful incentive for a parent to save and invest for their old age, for the long-term, to invest their time, money and effort in producing responsible, moral and productive children. This is also an incentive for children, knowing that they have a potential inheritance coming, to take care of their parents, to become responsible and productive, to prove themselves in life. This is a win for the individual, the family, the community and for the nation. For as goes the nuclear family so goes the nation. Destroy the nuclear polarized male (+)/female (-) family and in about a generation the nation is destroyed. There should accordingly be no inheritance tax on anything, ever. If anything, there should e tax incentives to save for retirement and inheritance. Not only would everyone become wealthier with each passing generation, but also the strength of the extended family unit would be enhanced in everyones best interests for the vast majority, falling as it does when there is freedom to act under the bell-shaped curve (Gaussian distribution). And this would further mean that government would be primarily at the family level, and at the local church and community level, leaving much less to be done at the top by civil government at less bureaucratic expense.

4) Notice that in presenting these factors that contribute to all of us becoming wealthier over time, we have stuck to the basic ingredients of the economic recipe labor and land, people and the earth, man and natural resources. We have accordingly remained consistently anchored in reality. Moreover, it should have become apparent by this time that the key factor in the two-part economic equation is man, individually and collectively, plus the laws, rules and traditions by which he lives. Man should be the ultimate resource, or he will default to being the ultimate predator or parasite (slave, serf) as he is primarily today in most of the world of this Prison Planet. (What good have all those rich natural resources been to the warring, dark, poverty stricken nations with predatory and parasitic governments in Africa?) Today, overwhelmingly, man is not individually or collectively the ultimate resource. He is this destructive way, not only naturally, but encouraged to be so because he is misinformed, uninformed, mis-educated, indoctrinated and propagandized to operate contrary to his own best interest long-term, to be no longer a human being, but instead to be a human resource, to be exploited from cradle to grave, used up and then discarded by his top down, centralized, bureaucratic, zombie, rapacious government with its associated banks and transnational corporations, all of which act contrary to his individual best interests long-term, contrary also to the long-term best interest of the community and the nation. Yes, there are a few exceptions and examples today where man operates as the ultimate resource. Singapore (5 million) and Switzerland (8 million) come quickly to mind. Neither country has any natural resources. Yet, they are at the top globally of the richest, most prosperous and productive nations on the earth due to the attitudes, traditions and productivity of their people and culture and a by-and-large benign, helpful, limited, supportive government. As a result, the people who reside in Singapore and Switzerland are regularly at the top in the worlds list of those who are generally content, satisfied, and happy with their lives. Both nations have a rich spiritual heritage and a Protestant individually-focused work ethic. (Earn all you can, so you can save all you can, so you can give all you can, not so you can enslave yourself by borrowing and spending all you can.) Both nations have the consistent rule of law and property rights applied equally to all, justly, without favoritism. Both nations protect their citizens against riots, insurrections, and foreign aggression militarily and economically. Both nations have citizens armies. Neither is aggressive militarily. Both nations mind their own business, and look to the economic welfare of their people. Neither nation runs a financial deficit. Taxes are low and equitable in both nations. Both nations are business friendly, and encourage and support innovation and entrepreneurs. Taxes paid there are used to enrich the lives of their people, community and nation, not for military adventurism to support transnational corporate interests, not for foreign aid, with little welfare. Both are rather small nations, with limited geography, causing the government to be responsive to the people and effectively to be part of the local community. In Switzerland, they have a constitution patterned after what the US had initially, as well as another powerful tool in their binding referendum, which is a viable and effective check that can and does repeal damaging laws and power grabs by the Swiss national, canton and/or municipal governments. Therefore, the people of Switzerland have real political power individually, and a say in their government that makes a difference, that counts. When it comes to individuals, how difficult can it be to educate people to operate in their own long-term self-interest in a win-win fashion? After all, both the Catholic Church and Communist Party have long known if they can capture the mind of a child for the 1st six years of education, odds are close to 97% they will own him/her for life. By age 12, it is pretty well determined who that individual is (and will be for life) by the programming of the powerful delta, theta, and alpha rhythms of the ruling subconscious, the so-called monkeys that pull the strings in the dark recesses of our

minds. Think of it another way: a 12-year investment in first six years of a childs life pays off by 6 times, a 600% return on investment (assuming a lifespan of 72 years). Where else can we get that wonderful of a return on our investment? So, why not teach children to always do the right thing long-term, that self-interest is best served by service, thereby solving mans always present question on how to resolve the needs and rights of the individual with those of the collective, the community? Why not teach children that basic laws for their own good and the good of everyone else come down to: 1) Not violating the person or property of anyone else; 2) Honoring and keeping ones covenants and contracts. Historically across cultures, regardless of race or religion, in spite of persecution, those who saved and invested for the long-term did well and prospered. Why is this not taught to our children in our schools? Why instead are our children encouraged to go into debt slavery for consumption, to do robotically what feels good, to cater to their instant gratification rather than to healthy deferred gratification? Why not have a free market in education, an unrestricted voucher system at least, and unlock and encourage each individuals potential by testing to determine the intersection of his/her unique motivation and aptitude, and then specifically encourage that childs development along those lines? Why not encourage diversity, which increases the richness of all of our lives, leading to the specialization and division of labor resulting in cooperative peaceful trade and The Wealth of Nations (Adam Smith)? This way we all need each other and enrich everyones individual spiritual and economic lives and self-worth. Throw out the school uniforms. Do any us like to wear the same clothes, buy and eat the same food, or all live in exactly the same kind of accommodation? Of course, not! We live and thrive on the creativity of individual diversity. And it is in our individual diversity that we need each other and create community. If we truly love our children and grandchildren, this is what must occur, in their education, free of centralized government control. It is no accident that homeschooled children perform in a superior way all the way around, in testing, in healthy social and psychological development. Children need to be taught that if they are to be happy and prosperous in life, they must be free. And if they are to be free, the must grow up from being dependents, effectively little slaves and serfs, and take personal responsibility for their lives, develop and use their talents, covenant and contract for what they need, do what they agree to do, and not encroach or violate any other persons person and property, do the right thing long-term. This message was so effectively communicated by John Knox after the Reformation in Scotland that there was no need for jails there for the next 200 years, so righteously self-governing were the Scots. Of course, there has to be a religious, legal, judicial and social structure to support the four cumulative wealth producing economic factors discussed above. The rule of impartial common law (based in supernatural law that makes all men truly equal under the law), with no respect for persons, with everyone being equal and accountable under the law, is a must. So, too, are respect for property rights critical, as human right are an extension of property rights. Likewise, laws must encourage and support inheritance and respect for the sovereignty of the nuclear family unit. Laws that support the vital, scientifically proven, universal fractal harmonics of polarity are a must for a long-term healthy, vibrant society. Also, laws that limit absentee ownership of land in rural communities (other than housing) are a must. (No person or entity can own rural land who does not live there, who does not improve it, and who violates the spirit of local community. This works successfully in Singapore, Bermuda and Switzerland. It keeps foreign, governmental and corporate interests from exploiting natural resources and from violating and ruining the local rural community. Plus, it keeps the balance between the vertical city and the horizontal countryside intact. It keeps rural land productive, less expensive, rather than unproductive when it is bought up by the absentee owning city dwellers, government and corporate interests, driving people off the rural land into the

city, resulting is social dysfunctions. The city is a parasite on the rural country, both in terms of humanity and natural resources. The country is the source of free energy/money/wealth coming from the sun and earth, and as such needs its separation and protection from the city to maintain balance, strength and harmony in a society. Union General William T. Sherman took about four years to march through the US South during the US Civil War, knowing full well that he had to destroy the countryside, the plantation way of life, or the Southern cities would rebuild. The health of the rural countryside is the foundation for the health and vitality of the city.) Also important are trials by a jury of ones actual peers, decisions based in equally applied rules of common law, that focus on breaches of covenants and contracts, and violations of another individuals person or property, with justice primarily considered, but with mercy and intent secondarily considered. Locally elected and selected law enforcement officials and judges are vital to a just legal system. Also important are laws of national protection against foreign military and economic invasions, including tariffs on foreign-produced goods. There should be no property, income or inheritance/estate taxes, with a tax rate less than paid by slaves and serfs historically, a tax rate less than 20%, preferably a national sales tax or valued added tax. (Such encourages savings for investment, which is the source of wealth [deferred gratification], rather than spending for impoverishing consumption.) There should be no legally or politically licensed professions, meaning anyone can practice medicine, law, be an accountant, teacher, university professor, etc., so a natural aristocracy can arise anew and be renewed with each subsequent generation, with the civil government staying out of the economic arena, only involved in matters of national security, with welfare handled by free market-generated charities and religious organizations, the local church being the primary social safety net after that of the nuclear and extended bloodline family. Man is the issue. Man, we, each of us individually, need to be an ultimate resource. To do so, we have to be thinking clearly and acting accordingly. We have to know where our true, best, long-term self-interest rests, and how miraculous that such is, when rightfully understood and applied, is in harmony with the will of God, and the best interest of our fellow man and the earth. It is a win-win-win-win way of life. As God said in Proverbs 8:36, But he that sins [errs] against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love death. Note: There are many additional perspectives that support the four factors for increasing our prosperity over time, some of which are on our website, all for free www.REMcMaster.com For example, there you will find in the Poetry section four poems where I present guidelines for young people which, if followed, all but guarantee young people a full, successful and productive life (acts of God, nature and rapacious governments to the contrary). There, also on the website, in the Relationships section, is material I have used to successfully teach relationship classes all over the world. This is also free. Basic family relationships are fundamental to the creation of a successful society. Also on the website is Guidelines for Living, which contains rules, principles and laws that aid everyone in living a wiser and more successful life, And while I do not intend to preach here, I want to face the truth head on. Government is always religion applied to economics, everywhere, in all of human history, without exception. And hands down, the overwhelming evidence is the religion that has consistently produced the greatest wealth and social well-being is individual-based, bottom up, Protestant Christianity, which according to Oxford University, produces 22 times the per capita income of natural earth-based religions and 6 times that of Catholicism. Why? Because Protestant Christianity posited power in the individual, made all men truly equal under the law because the law came supernaturally from outside of man from a God who is fixed, does not change and is separate from man (Texas Tech Law Review, Fall, 1977). Protestant Christianity makes the individual responsible for how he spends his time on earth, promises him the blessings of prosperity both in time and eternally, encourages him to save and invest, to develop and use his individual talents in a win-win manner by first serving his fellow man before serving himself, and to build society from the bottom up, rather than the guaranteed slavery, injurious manmade law, and poverty imposed by

centralized, top down, elitist, bureaucratic, zombie-run civil governments playing the role of god, which have been the rule throughout history. It is therefore no accident, but cause and effect, that the prosperity and freedom enjoyed in the United States (and Switzerland) in its early history, up until the 1860s (the time of Lincolns tyranny in US Civil War and emergence of Darwinism -http://www.squidoo.com/abraham-lincoln , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CwkG2C5sAc ), was due to the fact that 99% of Americans were Protestants of some form or stripe. In this regard, see the Christianity section of our website. You will find useful, applicable, real life information there, not the pie-in-the-sky, milk toast, effeminate, put-you-to-sleep heresies you hear spewed from the majority of pulpits every Sunday these days. Todays sermons hailed from seminaries that were co-opted, bought off, and compromised by the atheistic, social evolutionary, elitist Robber Barons in the first decade of the 20th century who had the expressed aim to gut real wealth-producing Christianity. I honesty recommend you read all of the articles there in the Christianity section, but as it applies to the subject here, and to increasing your economic and general well-being in your life on this earth, must reading would include Ten Critical Mistakes That Will Torpedo Our Lives, Bad Decisions, Competition, Back to Basics, Law, The Nanny State Is Ungodly, Allegiance, Revolution, and The Big Picture.
